Welcome. Today I will share with you one of my true loves. This painted side board. About 3 years ago I picked this up at a thrift shop. I paid about $50.00 for it. I had seen this art design and color combination once before and just loved it. I had a friend do the art work (I thought the art was a little to detailed for my painting skills, so I turned it over to a more experience person).My friend worked on it for about two weeks. When she finished she wasn't sure if I was going to like it. Well, she was wrong! I love it. It's in my "parlor". It has a dual purpose, all the storage space and a pretty piece of art. I'm not one to do the be fores & afters of my TRASHformations, I'm sorry I don't. I'm trying to get better at that. I think I don't do it because I'm excited to get the project going so the end result can be get redesigns such as this. Please be sure to visit Diane @http://diane1876.blogspot.com/ for some more great finds.Have a blessed day

Hi, Marie ...
Thank you for taking the time to leave a note for me at my Southern Lagniappe blog. I'm glad it led me to your lovely "Romance and Relics."
I love your sideboard -- it's very elegant and truly a work of art.
Sincerely,
Janie

I'm off on Wednesdays and I really lucked out with all the snow days we have had on Wednesday!

Good Morning Marie!
I don't think I responded to the kind message you left for me? Thanks so very much for coming by! I'm so new to this blogland thing and am still trying to figure out how things work. Your little green/rose cabinet turned out so sweet. I'm in the same boat as far as forgetting to take before pix. I was actually just thinking about that last night. I have a couple of re-do projects I'd like to share too! :-)
Have a wonderful day!
Warmly,
Spencer
